first of all its in OUR solar system because its not owned my someone in particular. there is NO purpose for a comet... its just interesting and beautiful to us. it does not harm of do anything to us. its just... there!
Yes. Halley's Comet is a comet that orbits our sun, and the definition of "Part of the solar system" is 'Any object that orbits our sun.'
Any comet visible from earth is in orbit around the sun. If the orbit is closed (elliptical), the comet will return after some period of time. If the orbit is open (parabolic or hyperbolic), the comet will escape the solar system and never return to the neighborhood.
The eccentricity of Halley's comet is approximately 0.967, which is quite high compared to other solar system objects. This high eccentricity means that its orbit is very elongated, taking it from the outer solar system to the inner solar system and back every 76 years.
The frozen chunk of ice and dust from outside the solar system is called a comet. Comets are composed of ice, dust, and rocky material and originate from the outer regions of the solar system. When a comet approaches the Sun, the heat causes the ice to vaporize, creating a long tail that points away from the Sun.
It's in a gravitational orbit with the sun. Just like every other planet, moon, comet, asteroid, and meteoroid in the solar system.
A comet is in a solar system. A solar system is in a galaxy, so technically a comet is also in a galaxy.

A comet.
Yes. In fact, with the extremely rare exception of a "rogue" comet, all comets are a part of our solar system.
No. It is possible for a comet to leave our solar system, but not the galaxy.
Yes. Halley's Comet returns to the inner solar system about every 76 years.
